VSC8564
Quad Port QSGMII/SGMII Dual Media GbE PHY with Intellisec™
The VSC8564 device enables network-wide Layer 2 MACSec encryption with
a simple PHY upgrade.
The quad port VSC8564 GbE PHY with Intellisec is ideal for securing cloud
network applications such as e-commerce, databases, collaboration, smart
grid, video, and enterprise or government communications. In addition,
VSC8564 can be added into the design of FIPS 140-2 compliant products for
use in a wide variety of markets including (but not limited to) medical, insurance,
financial, banking, military, defense, security, retail, industrial, entertainment,
and cloud computing.
Intellisec enables a realistic and affordable Layer 2 MACsec security
solution. Intellisec is a patented technology enabling IEEE 802.1AE MACsec
encryption end-to-end over any network (including multioperator and cloud-
based networks), independent of the network's awareness of security
protocols. Intellisec is not limited to traditional MACsec link-based box-to-
box applications, and scales easily with the number of interfaces (delivering
significant cost savings in network deployment), but is still capable of being
configured to be 100% backward compatible to currently deployed 128-
bit MACsec 802.1AE-2006 compliant solutions. The device also includes
dual recovered clock outputs for timing references in Synchronous Ethernet
solutions.
VSC8564 is pin compatible with the 1588v2 PTP-capable VSC8584 device.
